Khyber, oh Khyber, what fond memories were formed within you. We saw Sunburned Hand of the Man with about 15 other people in you. Ghost blew our minds in you. We saw Espers before the world saw Espers. Hey friends, come join us for an evening of tunes at this mythic club, 56 S. 2nd St. in Old City Philadelphia, this Saturday January 10th. Enumclaw will be vibing the stage with The SEA Trio, Dan Malloy and Gina Ferrera. If you ask, I might sneak you a promo cd of the new Niagara Falls record….oh….
Ok, really, so what are you doing for New Year’s Eve? We’ll be in NYC and you should be too. Enumclaw will be playing a full-club farewell to the Leonard St. Knitting Factory before they up and move to Brooklyn! The night is being curated by the rad dudes of Akron Family, who will also be playing the main stage with Deerhoof, The Dirty Projectors, Deer Tick and Megafaun, and others. Right on.
Enumclaw will be vibing downstairs in the old office, which will be transformed into an ambient drone zone.
More info, tickets and full line up at The Knitting Factory.
Just returned home from the Kensington post office where the new Niagara Falls record, Sequence of Prophets. was shipped off to the plant! This one’s been a long time coming, and we’re really psyched for it to drop in February 2009. We’re ditching the compact disc with this one and will be pressing limited edition vinyl with mp3 dowloads. Our friends at Apollo Audio will be handling the mp3 downloads which will come free with purchase of the vinyl.
Here’s a sneak peak of the opening track, Flatlands…

We’re also ever so pleased to announce that Geoff Bucknum (of Blood Like Mine) has joined the ever-morphing entity that is Niagara. Geoff is a master of texture and tone, and will be adding deep layers of organic, electric guitar.
There is a new-ish Niagara Falls Facebook page, with all the latest gossip. Come friend us up.
In old Niagara news, a recording that we did over the phone back in 2006 for the radio show Phoning it In, is available on their new site right here, along with a ton of other great live performances.
Pretty amazing double dose of shows this Friday and Saturday. One on the east side, one on the west.

That’s right, everything in the shop is on sale now! We’ve taken the advice of numerous economic policy advisors whom all agree we should walk together on this path towards a reinvigorated economy.
Well played America, and it’s amazing to be with you at the turn of the tide.
Solid new review of the Tathagatta DNA/RNA 2 cdr set over at Foxy Digitalis. Allow me to cut and paste my favorite bits…
Says Peter Taylor of Foxy Digitalis,
“Bubbling electronics and damped sound forge hypnotic noises.”
“Mirages of melodies are dissolved in reverb and white noise.”
“A very hypnotic side with some of the greatest live synth resonance put to CD-R this year.”
“a journey well worth treading and a high recommendation for all into meditative music. 7/10″
Full review here, and you can pick up a copy over in the shop, of course.
